Its all about the action, most people think they will lose and set an amount. If they lose that amount or less its worth it, the price of action

It is all in the brain. Some people gamble to lose. They want the excitement out of it.
While we know we always lose in the Casino, the thought of "disbelief" is always there.... "No way my luck is that bad"...."I will get it back".
The excitement and "fighting-back" thoughts made people love gambling.
There are odd cases that some ppl always win. And some just want to be surrounded by those enviornment.

Most people that return home from vegas with a lot less money still say they had a hell of a time. It is a fun atmosphere, people that gamble responsibly will always have fun even if they lose a little.

Because the hope of "any moment" you may win something keeps them going... also when others are winning around them you have a feeling of this next hand or this next spin will land me something... for others they are desperate to pay off debts and out of that despiration will continue gambling in hopes of more money. For others it's that live on the edge thrill and anticipation...what ever it is it gets a lot of people poor quickly who can't afford it... and being tired of being poor all the time or stuck in a rut I guess plays a hand too. Before you know you have full fleded addiction.

the same reason people bungee jump and such - to trick part of yourself into thinking you're going to die - in a financial sense - so turning up the adrenalin.

Because one in a very small number wins, big.
Gambling is a bad deal for the gambler. I agree.
But that's why. :)
